4/5 ★ – nobenfre's review of Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut.

Aside from needing walkthrough guides to help me find my way in the adventure fields, this rules. Absolutely nails the 3D Sonic mechanics in a way that hasn’t quite been replicated since. Sonic’s story is the highlight. Tails’s story is a boring retread, but develops his character in a nice way. Knuckles lays the foundation for gameplay that’s better in SA2, but still worthwhile and fun. Amy’s story is surprisingly amazing. Very short, but her gameplay is a standout. I love building speed and doing massive, vaulting flips with her hammer Gamma’s story is the “heart” of the whole thing. I’ll always love that robot. Big’s story should’ve been an optional mini game but oh well. It took me a while to get the mechanics down but I flew through it once I understood. The final story is iconic. “Open Your Heart” is such a banger and Perfect Chaos is one of my favorite Sonic villains. On that, I love Chaos. Inspired character design, awesome lore. Overall, this is among my favorite Sonic games/stories.
